%N Least positive integer m > 1 such that 1 - m^k + m^(2*k) is prime, where k=A003586(n).

%C 1 - m^k + m^(2*k) equals Phi(6*k,m) when k=2^p*3^q, p>=0, q>=0, which may be prime numbers for certain positive integer m>1.

%C The Mathematica program given here generates the first 33 terms. Further terms were generated by OpenPFGW.

%C a(62)=7426, while A003586(62)=3^8=6561.

%F a(n) = A085398(6*A003586(n)). - _Jinyuan Wang_, Jan 01 2023

%e n=1, A003586(1)=1, when m=2, 1-2^1+2^2=3 is prime, so a(1)=2;

%e n=2, A003586(2)=2, when m=2, 1-2^2+2^4=13 is prime, so a(2)=2;

%e ...

%e n=7, A003586(7)=9, when m=7, 1-7^9+7^18=1628413557556843 is prime, so a(7)=7.
